There was a mild drama yesterday at the Ondo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Secretariat in Akure, the state capital, as the party’s 10 local council chairmen worked out from an event, where the former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede, collected his governorship nomination form.
Six of the PDP council chairmen are from the northern senatorial districts and the remaining four from the south.
It was gathered that they were initially invited for a PDP stakeholders meeting by the state executives, but later discovered that the meeting was organised for the collection of form by Jegede.
The party leaders from the north and south senatorial districts have been agitating that the PDP governorship candidate must come from their districts.
